Letters: Human trafficking takes away freedom

According to Doctors at War Against Trafficking Worldwide and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, around half of trafficking victims in the world are under the age of 18 and more than 50 percent of all human trafficking victims are children.

Sex traffickers target children because of their vulnerability and gullibility to give into what the traffickers want from them. Human trafficking plays a negative role on an individual's right to liberty, breaking their human rights, and disrespects their will. In many cases, they transport people away from their communities and families, being forced to work against their will.

Everyone has the right to have freedom and be independent. Human trafficking takes place in every country and industries all around the world. There are also many individuals and organizations working globally to fight this problem such as Doctors at War Against Trafficking Worldwide.

This organization helps fight against human trafficking by connecting not only doctors, but other health care professionals, by giving them the opportunity to make a difference. People don't wake up in the morning and decide they want their freedom and rights taken away from them.
